Nature Detectives Tutoring Session

Service Description

Curious Curio Cabinets and Collections! Join us as we become Nature Detectives and start our very own curious collections of trinkets and treasures! Learners will explore, examine, and expand their knowledge of the wonders of nature by curating a meaningful selection of found objects. What will we find as we take a walk in the woods? What tiny treasures can be found around Our Sensory Farm in the spring? What textures and colors await us as we explore the grounds? Learners will have an opportunity to sort, categorize, and classify their collections while sharing and trading with others. Finally, we will host a Nature Detectives Show and Tell where those who choose to participate can showcase their favorite finds! We get to enjoy a short book read aloud during Story Time as we gather for lunch. Learners will have a chance to participate in a casual discussion in which we will share ideas, answer questions, and make connections related to the story. Learners will also be given an opportunity at the end of our session to reflect, record, note, doodle, remember, and share as we create entries in Farmventure Journals. This tutoring session is appropriate for We Play Learners ages 5 and up with all abilities. Activities, instruction, and level of support will be differentiated to meet the needs of individual learners. During this tutoring session, learners will have opportunities for practice and progress in the following areas: Planning - analyzing the steps to complete the task Organization - categorizing items Task Initiation - making use of time effectively Attention - understanding distractions and finding solutions to manage them Metacognition - self-reflection Working Memory - gathering information from the environment Self-Control - thinking before acting Flexibility - accepting another’s idea or view Perseverance - turn-taking Please don't forget to pack lunch for your learner(s) along with a refillable water bottle! Dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes. Sunscreen and bug spray may also be a good idea as the weather gets warmer.
